US Ports Security

Steven Flynn thinks the its outrageous that our govenment allows Port owners or mangers provide security to the ports they manage in USA.
Where is the USA government? When is the government do the job we pay our taxes to do.
Bush is asleep at the wheel. Bush has drummed into us about Terrorism, terrorism, and terrorism. Now he is going to delegate the responsibility of security to our ports to another nation.

Funny, I and perhaps, we didn't know our ports were owned by other foreign governments. Why didn't we know this? What are we paying our taxes for, to be kept in the dark?
